📖 Add Maintainer to release team roles #8988

killianmuldoon · 2023-07-11T11:57:22Z

Add a Release Writer role to the the release tasks doc. This role has become de facto required as part of the release process. This change formalizes the role and defines the responsibilities and tasks of someone who is the designated Release Writer for a release.

we are discussing this during the community meeting on 12 July, there are some questions about this process and the name. cc @CecileRobertMichon for more comments.

re: naming, "release maintainer" as opposed to "release writer" might make this clearer

CecileRobertMichon · 2023-07-12T17:39:58Z

TLDR from the office hours discussion:

general consensus that having a maintainer available for help and support during release days is a good idea, +1 to formalize this
we should still look into giving the release team all the permissions they need to be able to release end to end without needing maintainers' help (this might mean setting up more automation, setting up a release manager team similar to k8s with a custom github role, etc.)
Preference around naming this role something like "on-call maintainer" or "supporting maintainer" so it's clear this role has to be filled by a project maintainer as opposed to something generic like "release writer"

fabriziopandini

Only a nitpick on the role name otherwise +1 for me

Let's give others a chance to review (again). Would be good if we can get this merged within the next week or so. So we have it ready for the next cycle.

@sbueringer WDYT about merging this as-is? If there's further feedback we can update before the next release team comes onboard.

sbueringer · 2023-07-18T17:17:09Z

Sounds good.

If there is any further feedback, please let us know and we can do a follow-up PR
